Artist Statement

 Human civilization evolved in tandem with the ability to excavate and manipulate the raw materials of the Earth. Harnessing the properties of stone, metal, and silicon has led to the technologies that have shaped the way we live. This connection between raw material and technological innovation creates a space of exploration for my photography, sculpture, video, performance, and sound installations. In addition, while addressing the links between innovation and society, my work also allows me to uncover and deconstruct the cultural myths, rituals, and environmental impacts generated by civilization’s interaction with technology.
